Have you signed up yet? Today’s the last day to sign up for the Coventry Cassidy Lady Godiva Half Marathon 2008, click here to go to the page. Did you watch the Great North Run this morning, I’ve ran it twice and it’s a fantastic run, the most runners for any half marathon in the world, 50,000. It’s inspiring to watch the event on TV seeing so many different reasons to run and hearing their stories.
In only 2 weeks, you’ll be classed as a half-marathon runner; it feels good. Today’s run has set you up to complete the distance, this week we drop the distance for your long run back to only 10 miles, but run alternate miles at a higher intensity.
As the race day gets closer I have had many people ask me how long it should take; there is no set time to aim for, you should just aim to get round the course and enjoy it. Try not to put pressure on yourself and aim for a quick time or try to keep up with friends if you feel uncomfortable; run your own race.
Make sure you are staying hydrated on your long runs and drinking plenty of good quality water following your runs. Again, spend plenty of time stretching and performing Self Myofascial Release; allow time for relaxation following your runs.
